Smile
...Where we began
It's been so long since that day
that I first saw your face
and noticed the way you smiled
And I thank God everyday that I did.
Each time you do, each time
I'm back in that moment
hoping that this love is real
And I thank God everyday that it is.
As I sleep tonight,
I hope to dream of you
but only so that when I wake
I get to wake up next to you
Then I smile
because a clear dream of you
is worth far less than your reality
And I thank God everyday that it is.
But what would life be like
if I'd been born 30 years before you
in the neighborhood where you live?
If you passed my house on your bike
would I know it was you
by the way you smiled at me?
What would happen
if for some reason the world ended tonight
would it end you and I?
Would I be afraid?
And then you smile.
I am back...

the romantic elements in your stuff is good. your strong musical influence is noticeable, the stuff is lyrical. to romantic for my tastes but hayley has to absolutely love it.
keep it up with the song writer sensibility.
The thing I liked most about this one is something Pink Floyd used in one of their albums. The beginning and end tie together with this phrase "I am back...where we began." It works well split up in the context, but when you loop it, connecting the phrase, it gives the piece a feeling of forever, something I strive to push in my writing of love. Also, it displays the ups and downs that constantly occur in life and love, and I love it.
